If you like you pop sweet and sticky, then here is a special treat from the masters of ‘Bubble Gum’. That neatly describes the music of a ‘group’ that enjoyed a cornucopia of hits in the late Sixties. Songs like ‘Bang-Shang-A-Lang’ stuck like gum to the ears of teenagers who couldn’t get enough of this pop phenomenon. Yet the group didn’t actually exist. The Archies started life as cartoon characters in a Don Kirshner US TV series. A trio of singers worked behind the scenes to bring songs written by Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry to life, and ‘Sugar Sugar’ became the biggest selling single in RCA Records’ history. Here are 24 pieces of irresistible ear candy that will take you to glucose heaven.
